125 Ontario Street, Yates Street Heritage Conservation District, St. Catharines, ON
Excerpt from “A Short Walking Tour of the Yates Street Heritage District”:
125 Ontario Street was built and owned by Newman Brothers Contractors, a prestigious firm that built many of the homes in the Yates Street Area. Constructed in 1905, this house is a good example of the Queen Anne Revival style. Queen Anne characteristics include the irregular plan and roof line, the wide curved porch wrapping around the side of the building, and several types of exterior finishes. Before this house was built, the property was owned by Elias Smith Adams, mayor of St. Catharines from 1852 until 1859 and brother-in-law of W.H. Merritt.
